    yuki:  i know...you can hear crickets on this thing!  PS...i'm a HUGE dmb fan.  like HUGE.  love those songs...also Lover Lay Down & Crush!  i love that dmb will be your first dance!  =)

    Kristy: i'm not a frequent in the north beach hood, but i imagine there HAS to be some good italian spots there.  i've heard Iluna Basque is really good, but i have no clue if they can accomodate big groups.

    Jena: i was new to the "last dance" song thing too - i found this poll on another board!  (teehee)  i'm thinking of doing something silly like a tv show theme song or something.  FI and i are HUGE tv junkies.

    Reese- I'm glad that there's another BA knottie that I can relate too! I LOVE me some Dave. I'm SO SO tempted to go to his concert in Concord in August but for FI and I, it's kinda out of our expenses since we're getting married three weeks after. Oh....but I'm SO tempted.

    Where in Sonoma are you getting married? Have you booked any vendors yet?

    ohhh!  i am going to that show...and CANNOT wait.  FI's not really into dave, but is HUGE into music esp jam bands.  he did the whole phish thing back in high school.  so i'm making him come with me...there's nothing like seeing them live.

    i'm actually going to a vineyard on sunday, its called Calegari Vineyards!  (which reminds me, i have to make at least 1 or 2 other appointments that day) my co-worker's parents own it and a friend of a friend got married there in September.  its in Healdsburg - basically in the middle of no where.  and its GORGEOUS.  just totally natural and doesnt need a lot of "stuff".  we're from NJ and moved here 2.5 years ago.  i wanted it to be like soemthing our east coast friends/family have never seen.  i am most likely doing it there - but i'll have to confirm this sunday.  i cant wait!  i will keep you posted!

    i literally JUST got engaged, less than a month ago!  but i've been wedding obsessed since i was a kid.  so i've done a lot of reasearch and know what i want - but havnt booked anything yet b/c i need my date first!  soon soon!

    Thanks so much for the food recs! I'll look into them--it's hard to scope out RD places, I don't have much experience with NB and I don't live there. I'll be in the area in early June, so I'll have to check out those two while I'm there. :):)

    1. First name & FI's First name: Katie and Chris

    I don't have answers for the other questions yet. I'm newly engaged and we haven't really started planning yet.  We've recently started to consider a wedding in SF (previously had been hoping for a Tahoe wedding), but the venue we are interested in (1 Fort Mason) is beginning rennovation this November and the completion date is TBD. I just wanted to introduce myself and say hi :)

    I may disappear from these boards in a bit, but I'll be back under a new account.  Apparently in 2006 when I first joined TK I thought a good screen name would be my email addy... no way to change it now, so I'm gonna start over anew.
